Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Turkish director Reha Erdem takes no prisoners with this seriously wigged-out fable of otherness.

Kosmos (Sermet Yesil) arrives stumbling over snowy expanses at a nameless border town.

His first act is to save a boy from drowning, but thereafter his enigmatic character baffles the locals: he seems to be a faith healer, but he's also a petty thief.

His friendship with the boy's sister Neptun (Turku Turan) takes the form of howling and yelping like dogs around one another.

The look of it impresses, though deciphering it is a bit like trying to fold jelly.
